All the boys in our neighborhood wanted a Mach 1 in the early seventies. I did buy a 1969 Mustang 351W 4V in 1979 and everyone wanted to drive it. Keep your videos coming!!!
I can relate. Wanted a mustang for my first car but always 1k$ more than I could afford. Luckily a 71 Maverick Grabber popped up at the perfect price range. Fast forward 35 years and wasn’t looking but a 73 Mustang coupe magically appeared in a poor mans price range. Rough shape which is why I love your videos because you are always working on stuff I need to work on. Thank you for all you do!
Thanks for watching. I almost bought a '72 Grabber 302 3 speed, but the body was TIRED. The front end would lift and twist. Crazy I never even bothered to look under the car to see why. It was a solid NOPE. Love those cars.
Yay, another Mach 1 Vid!!!! Keep 'em coming you guys!! My Mach 71 Mach has the ram air and hood locks, and perfect alignment is difficult. In my case, they are completely factory to the car, but getting them to work *perfect* is a chore!!
I remember the first time I had to drill a brand new painted hood. I had just finished my apprenticeship at the Freightliner dealer and was handed a ticket to install some new hood mirrors on a truck. I was so nervous. It turned out fine, and prepared me to install badges on my father in laws freshly painted fenders.
I myself want a 73 mach 1 with a 351 me .....well that and well .....you know but, great video and now I'm going to curl up in the fetal position in a dark corner and try to fight through the night terrors of seeing you cut through that hood!
Hey team Resto Mod love they show always fun and informative to whatch Jeff can you please tell me what Radiator and size you have plus what temp and brand thermostat do you have in the 351c I want To buy aircon for my 351c but need to know I I must change the Radiator or the thermostat PLEASE thank you
I run a 160 degree thermostat and the radiator is the stock one (the top plate has a part number on it and is an A/C radiator). I had it re-cored. three core high fin count should be good IF the be bore is good and not thin (The Cleveland, like the 428, is prone to getting warm when the bore goes over .040). If you want more help, email me at jford@autorestomod.com
Hi Guys: I enjoyed your video very much. Can you share with me where you get the bracket you used along with the diameter size of the hole cutter, thanx.
Me too. First time I saw the thing it had flat tires, no stripes, and it was DIRTY. Paid too much for it, didn't care. It was my third grade crush (well a facsimile there of) and I had to have it.
Good job! We did a deep restoration and enhancement of our 1973 Mach 1 the other year. One of the enhancements was to add the Dzus hood locks, more for the aesthetics than for any real "performance benefit." But, that said, they do look great when installed properly. When they are not installed correctly it can be very goofy looking on Big Nose Mustangs (1971 -1973). I have a video showing what happens where someone used the radiator support panel to mount the Dzus locking mechanism, as opposed to using the locking mechanism extension bracket. What a sad looking result. Here is the link to the TH-cam additive info link I tossed together. I hope it helps spare someone some grief. You know how it is, once the hole is cut it is hard to go back for a do-over! th-cam.com/video/zE9lCXnmJr4/w-d-xo.html

READY TO ROCK AND ROLL! Great install video. Especially seeing it latch from under the hood! Cool shot!
Thanks! I have my moments of genius...not often enough, but I have them. LOL

We will! More on this car this coming week.
Cool addition. Ram air is really gonna be a nice addition. It’ll be much happier in the SC summer time!
I hope so!
Template worked perfectly for me, it was an easy fit. Thanks again.

We are planning a body panel alignment soon, hood pins included.

I've got that same Dremel sander. Love it.
Great job, I have a 73 Mach 1 that I am restoring and need to drill the hood pin holes as well. Thanks for the tips.
Glad to help!

I agree with the terrors. I still shiver.
I have a crazy idea. I have a 75 maverick grabber and think these would look cool on it.
They definitely would look cool on it

I have a 66 right now, but I'm really a 71-73 guy, and I want another fastback in the worst way.

Where do I mount the latch catch is my issue, I've got a 73 Mach 1 and it's missing everything under the hood to latch to
Y'all need a 1967 ford falcon on y'alls channel!!! Are y'all in Michigan?
South Carolina.
Mach 1 Stylish
What size metal hole saw did you use for the top of the hood?
We used a 3 inch hole saw.
@@AutoRestoMod thank you sir! I have a 1972 pewter Mach-1 that I'm doing this and the ram air mod too.
